Sensors and Switches Sensors, switches, and integrated sensing systems are among the most precise components and instruments in any aviation, industrial, or space application. Unison has unparalleled expertise and experience in the design, development, and manufacture of these critical products. Speed & Temperature Sensors Whether custom designed to fit a customer's specific needs, or one of our proven off-the-shelf solutions, our line of speed and temperature sensors are perfect for everything from high altitude, high performance aircraft to ground-based turbine and industrial applications. Unison sensors are made rugged enough to withstand temperature and vibration extremes, stable enough to withstand high overpressure and pressure transients, and sensitive enough to provide accurate controls. Sensor types include temperature-sensitive fluid-filled bellows assemblies, Type K or E thermocouples, Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD), Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), Total Air Temperature (TAT), and magnetic speed sensors. From prototype to production, Unison has custom solutions for even the most demanding sensing requirements and budgets. Typical Speed Sensor Characteristics Speed Range: 50 to 30,000 RPM Output Amplitude: 0.5 to 125 volts peak to peak Pulse Shape: Approximately sinusoidal, symmetrical around zero Physical Air Gap: .015 to .050 inches Load Impedance: > 1000 ohms Operating Temperature: –65°F to 500°F Connectors: Stud, eyelets, circular Typical Unison Thermocouple Sensor Characteristics Temperature: Up to 2300°F Response Time: 0.25 to 0.50 seconds Accuracy: Per “special limits of error” material standards Sheath Material: InconelTM 600, InconelTM X–750, Haynes 188 Typical Unison RTD Characteristics Temperature: –100°C to 500°C Time Constant: Typically 3 sec at 2ft/sec oil flows Accuracy: Per IEC 60751 Class B Housing: 304L, 347, InconelTM 600, InconelTM X–750 Pressure & Limit Switches Using our extensive experience and specialized production facilities, we have the ability to design and build custom switches that meet the unique specifications of our customers' needs. Our best sellers include our limit, precision, snap-acting, position, fuel flow and pressure switches. Pressure Switches Unison pressure switches are designed to perform in the harshest environments on the ground and in the air. Able to withstand temperatures ranging from -320 F to 1050 F and pressures up to 15,000 PSI, our precision- crafted switches are engineered to endure the hostile vibration, shock, pressure, and temperature conditions inherent in today's operating environments. Unison's snap-acting pressure switches offer greater set point stability, vibration resistance, over-pressure capability and cycle life. Our capabilities include absolute, gauge and differential pressure switches as well as differential gauges. Limit Switches Unison limit switches are custom designed for the rigors of your application. We offer a variety of actuation and de-actuation mechanisms, including rollers, plungers and buttons. Single-pole and multi-pole, single and double throw designs are also available. We specialize in switches for extremes in temperature, shock and vibration, corrosion and other hostile environmental conditions, as well as switches with longevity requirements. Limit/Position Switch Performance Characteristics Ranges Electrical Rating: 0.25–2.0 amps at 6 to 28 volts (Logic Level Available) Temperature Range: –320°F – 1050°F Terminal Data: MIL–Spec and other connectors, flying leads, solder lugs Endurance Life: 50,000–100,000 cycles Case Seal: Open, pressure tight, hermetic, environmental Construction: Welded, all–metal outer enclosures Vibration Resistance: 20Gs 10–20,000 hertz Shock Resistance: 50Gs Dielectric Strength: 1000 volts max
